We've now been offered our first look at Grant's return to his prime minister character from the film, in what appears to be a press conference taking place in Downing Street, thanks to pictures posted by the short's director Emma Freud on Twitter.

"I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually, but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to," Richard Curtis has said of the return to Love Actually. "Who has aged best? I guess that’s the big question … or is it so obviously Liam?"

"We’ve been delighted and grateful that so many of the cast are around and able to take part – and it’ll certainly be a nostalgic moment getting back together and recreating their characters 14 years later."

Red Nose Day Actually will be broadcast on BBC1 on Red Nose Day, 24 March in the UK. It will air the next day on NBC to coincide with the US equivalent.
